Title: Improvements in and relating to CIoT optimisations in a telecommunications network
Inventor: MAHMOUD WATFA
IPC: H04W48/02
Filed: 2021-05-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of redirecting a User Equipment, UE, from a serving network to a target network, whereby the serving network rejects a service request message. The redirection may be from 5GC to EPC or EPC to 5GC. The serving network AMF sends a service reject message with the 5GMM cause “redirection required” such that the UE on receiving the cause, updates status to “roaming not allowed”. Also disclosed is managing a PDN connection such that if a PDN connection is established in S1 mode, the UE verifies if an associated PDU session is associated with a control plane only indication. After a system change from S1 mode to NB-N1 mode, if a session modification procedure should be performed for indicating UE supports RQoS, the UE does not send a PDU session modification request message. A UE in NB-N1 mode informs a serving network about a number of data radio bearers it can support. A UE requests establishment of user plane resources for a number of PDU sessions which is not greater than the number the UE can support.

The shive element 10 may have an air hole 20 and a plug 24, the membrane surrounding the air hole. Alternatively, the shive element may be suitable for receiving a shive 100 (Fig. 3), the membrane placed across the bottom end of the shive element. The membrane may be retained in the hollow volume of the shive element by part of the plug. The flexible membrane may surround the bottom end of the plug. The shive element may have a releasable/ breakable protective cover.

Title: Method for carrying out a charging process of a vehicle-external charging apparatus for charging a vehicle, and charging apparatus
Inventor: RAOUL HEYNE
IPC: G07B15/02
Filed: 2021-08-06
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for carrying out external charging of a vehicle. The charging apparatus 1 is connected to a vehicle 2, possibly an electric or hybrid vehicle. A charging current is measured by a current measuring instrument 3 of the apparatus, and a time period in which a first contactor 4 of the apparatus and a second contactor 5 of the vehicle are closed is also measured by said instrument. The price for the charging process could be determined on the basis of the measured current and time. Closure of the contactors could be sensed via auxiliary contacts 4.1, 5.1 and sensor lines e.g. 4.2. The invention could be used to tackle the problem of EVs occupying parking spaces at charging stations beyond their necessary charging time. For example, if the vehicle requests zero current the apparatus might judge that it is artificially prolonging the charging process and bill the vehicle a parking charge.
